Cedars-Sinai’s Center for Medicine, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, in cooperation with the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, will host a free event, open to the public, focusing on how the history of medicine, Nazism and the Holocaust is influencing the practice, students and practitioners of today’s health professions.
Community partnerships led to a specialized clinic delivering COVID and flu shots to individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism at the MIND Institute.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine show how sleep loss during early life impacts key aspects of brain development and how it can increase one’s risk for developing autism spectrum disorder.
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) have identified a small molecule that, in mouse and human cell models, rectifies the underlying molecular cause of a rare genetic developmental disorder, CTNNB1 syndrome, linked with motor and intellectual disabilities and some types of autism spectrum disorder.
A new study reveals children with autism have a keen interest in letters and numbers – something their parents don’t always spot.
Key takeaways from Dr. Schwartzman’s presentation:Autistic people are frequently excluded from mental health research due to various factors.Including autistic individuals and scientists in the design of autism-focused research studies is crucial to effective research.Dr. Schwartzman’s lab is investigating tools to assess depression and suicide risk in autistic youth, testing autism-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy, and studying the needs of autistic youth and families following a suicide attempt.
Scientists have linked neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and autism, to changes in many genes involved in early brain development. However, more research is needed to understand how these gene variants influence the biological mechanisms that underlie these disorders.
A UCLA-led study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models accurately replicate human brain development.
A new study by UdeM neuroscientist Guillaume Dumas sheds new light on the behaviour and brain activity of people with autism in social situations.
Newly appointed to UdeM’s Department of Psychology, the assistant professor studies ways to enhance the well-being of those on the autism spectrum.
A new study by researchers in Canada and France provides insight into how a particularly severe form of epilepsy - as well as autism spectrum disorder - develops.
Researchers at UCLA Health and the University of North Carolina Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) will co-lead a unique project to assess behavioral and neurological markers of language development in low-income children within their family settings, gathering valuable information that could lead to earlier, more targeted interventions for a population that has been largely underrepresented in autism research.
Children born to mothers with obesity both before and during pregnancy have an increased risk of neuropsychiatric and behavioural conditions, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the University of South Australia.
Contrary to common perceptions and years of research that autistic people can’t describe their emotions or often have muted emotional responses, a Rutgers study published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy concludes that many autistic adults are in fact acutely aware of their feelings and can label them in vivid, often colorful detail.
